Your insurance company did not pay because the other party was at fault in the accident. Your property damage claim (cost of repairs) should have been filed with the at-fault party's insurance carrier.
The at-fault party's insurance carrier has no grounds for demanding payment from you or threatening to suspend your license.
If you had been at fault in the accident and did not have insurance, then the other party's insurance could report your uninsured status to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles which could suspend your license until proof of insurance is provided.
Since you were insured and not at fault in the accident, there must be some miscommunication on the part of the at-fault party's insurance to demand payment and threaten suspension of your license.
If this is not corrected, then file a complaint about that insurance company with your state's insurance commissioner.
